character of General Grant. The towers

way equal to it in width and of properly
proportional height. From the bridge
therefore, these towers will have the APP
oearance of triumphal arches of magnifi-
cent proportions. Above and about these
arches, and emplaced upon the towers,
ire to be suitable allegorical designs and
Inscriptions. Provision will be made,
also, for the employment of memorial
stones or other objects which may be
dedicated for the purpose to the memory
Of General Grant or in commemoration of
the restoration of the Union by countries,
States, or societies. Beside these princi-
pal towers, smaller ones are designed to
be erected on the other main piers of the
bridge suitable to accompany and lead up
to the main central features. The road
way of the bridge proper is supported on
steel arches, springing, just above high
water line, from granite piers. These
arch spans vary in width, being 24O feet
next the central towers and 1870 feet to-
ward the shores. The bridge is planned
with roadway forty feet in width, and
sidewalks ten feet in width, all to be
paved with asphalt. This will make the
entire width sixty feet, and furnish ample
accommodations for the greatest crowds
that will ever wish to cross it, even on
Decoration day.
The drawbridge will only have to be
opened for the passage of sailing vessels,
as there is clear height of fifty feet be-
meath it and beneath the adjacent arch
spans, and thus ample Roadway for steam
ers, barges, tows, etc. As it is planned
to be constructed of simple materials,
without any attempt at ornamentation,
depending for its beauty and character
upon its grandeur of design, it will be
safe to assume that the cost will not be
excessive.
